The stomach bleeding has not subsided and is now coming out of his mouth. So they stopped the heparin and turned up his ventilator hoping to turn down thee ECMO. They had to turn the ECMO back up last night to where he started. His tummy is distended due to the bleeding which is pushing up on the lungs and not letting them work as well. So they called a stomach specialist who might put a scope down to see what is going on in his stomach. The concern at tis point is getting him off ECMO as soon as possible, although he still appears to need it. So, here we are. In the middle of the seige.
